Made In Montauk

be found practically everywhere, from local dive bars to upscale eateries. And the popularity doesn’t stop at the Shinnecock Canal. Late last summer Montauk Brewing Co. became available in all five boroughs of New York.

For three locals born and bred in Montauk and East Hampton, graduates of EHHS, it’s been quite a ride. The guys originally started home-brewing beer back in 2009 upon returning to Montauk after graduating college.

Eric Moss, the company brew master and co-founder, was the first to embark on the beer-making journey, having initially attempted it while a student at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Cutillo, a graduate of Villanova, and cofounder and president Joe Sullivan, a graduate of Hamilton, soon followed suit.

Once settled back at home here on the East End, the guys began experimenting with brewing as a group, originally making beer for their friends for fun.

Then, it happened.

“Someone said, ‘This is good. You

Independent / Emily Toy

Come as you are.

That’s the motto at the Montauk Brewing Company, an East End brewery where locals and visitors alike gather for good conversation, good times, and of course, good beer.

Last weekend, The Independent traveled out to The End to chat with the three guys responsible for bringing awesome ales to the East End of Long Island for the last threeplus years.

Located on Erie Avenue, a few blocks north of Main Street, Montauk, the brewery and the three childhood friends behind it, pride themselves on being dedicated to keeping the no frills beverages and sense of community alive.

“It’s all about celebrating,” said Vaughan Cutillo, one of the brewery’s founders who also serves as marketing director.

And the founders of Montauk Brewing Company certainly have plenty to celebrate.

The company has grown exponentially since its inception in 2012. The brewery’s product can

guys should do something with this,’” said Moss. “So we did.”

With their combined savings, the founders set up shop, inhabiting the space that once housed Cutillo’s father’s woodworking shop, tucked away in a parking lot across from the public baseball field.

Originally crafted in brewing space borrowed from the Cooperstown Brewing Company in upstate New York, the company’s staple beer now is brewed in a small town in Massachusetts – the trio doesn’t have the space to keep up with demand for their flagship brews in their homebase.

All the artisanal/speciality beers, like the bay scallop stout (a clever play by Moss, reminiscent of an oyster stout, on tap now at the tasting room) are brewed on site, in Montauk.

The beer itself is fresh, complex, clean and has something to offer for everyone.

“There’s a time and place for every beer,” Cutillo reminded.

“That’s the beauty of craft.”

The staples: the Driftwood Ale, the first beer crafted and the most widely distributed. Find it

anywhere from backstreet, holein-the-wall pubs to the swankiest eateries around. Then there’s the Offland IPA, Session India Pale Ale, and Hop Blonde Ale. Seasonal ales include the Summer Ale, served during (you guessed it) summer months, and its counterpoint, the Arrowhead Red Ale, available during winter months.

During Indy’s visit to the brewery, the tasting room was lively for what seemed like a quiet weekend in January. Some of the patrons even traveled as far as Massapequa to wet their whistles.

“It’s just such a personable spot,” said Nicole Cooksy, of the Nassau County hamlet. “Whenever we drive out to Montauk, we have to come here. It’s small, everyone’s so nice.

It’s really refreshing.”

Refreshing describes the brewery tasting room well. It’s bright, squeaky clean, and welcoming.

Music plays in the background, while people gather at the small, six-seat bar or at high-top tables bordering the space. Funky, colorful artwork, with a constant theme of the ocean, adorns the walls CONTINUED ON PAGE 7.

Welcome, Jack!

Carl Irace and Alice Cooley, of Springs, are excited to announce the arrival of their son, Jack Andrew Irace, on January 1, 2016, two weeks earlier than his expected due date.

Jack measured 20” and weighed 7 lbs. and 9 oz.

Jack was born at Southampton Hospital.

Though he was the second baby born there in 2016, it looks like he was the first East Hampton baby of the New Year.

Carl Irace is a local attorney and Alice Cooley is an attorney at the East Hampton law firm, Eagan & Matthews, PLLC. Both Alice and Carl are members of the Executive Board of the East Hampton chapter of Lions Club International.

EL CHAPO MEETS EL CRUDO

SHUDDUP!!

You’re telling me, Donald Trump, to shut up? Where am I? Who are you?

You are in your worst nightmare – a Mexican jail. I am El Chapo. I own this Mexican jail.

TRUMP: Didn’t they just catch you? Aren’t you a prisoner?

EL CHAPO: Prisoner? You are as naive as those people who think you should be president. Prisoner?

Mr. Trump, every time the corrupt Mexican government runs low on money I allow them to catch me.

Then I bribe them and they let me escape. It’s a funny game we play.

I own this jail. In fact, I own the government.

And I brought you here to give you an offer you can’t refuse.

I want to be your vice president.

Trump and El Chapo – what a

ticket. It has a nice ring to it. One day, along with your buddy Putin, we can rule the world. Here’s why you need me.

The Republican establishment doesn’t want you. The Democratic establishment doesn’t know what it wants. We have to do an endrun and get ourselves elected. As you know, I could be a key to the Hispanic vote. And I have the money it takes to get you elected.

Plus, with Sean Penn in my pocket, I have an in to the Hollywood ultra-liberal vote. Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, Alec Baldwin . . . they will love me on the ticket. They see me as a downtrodden underdog. They loved that picture of me captured, wearing a dirty undershirt. They feel it makes me a man of the people. A poor man’s Bernie Sanders.

Want to talk money, Trump? I can buy and sell you a thousand times. There’s more money to be made in selling drugs than in bankrupting casinos. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats. How many submarines do you have, Trump?

None. Just as I thought. I have 50 submarines. That’s five less subs than Great Britain has. I’m modest that way.

One of my submarines is underwater in Palm Beach looking at your yacht right this minute. The captain of my submarine just told me your yacht is quite big. He says it’s a “two torpedo” yacht.

TRUMP: You’re out of your mind.

You’re not even a United States citizen. How do you plan to get around that?

EL CHAPO: Citizen? Who has to be a citizen? Is that creep Cruz with his phony papers a citizen? You spent a year screaming that Obama was not a citizen – a lot of good it did for those simpletons who voted for Hope and Change and got Syria and ISIS. The American people will believe anything when they fall in love and, Mr. Trump, when it comes to your followers, the more you lie, the more you make up stories and exaggerate, the more they love you.

They love you more every time you tell them another whopper. Getting Mexico to pay for a wall to keep Mexicans out of the United States?

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard.

I take my sombrero off to you.

TRUMP: But . . . but . . . you’re a drug dealer. How do we get around that?

IN THE NEWS

EL CHAPO: Simple. We NRA your Congress. We bribe every Congressperson with money – big money – until we have them doing for us what they do for the National Rifle Association. They will eat out of our hands in return for a lousy political donation no matter who it hurts.

When it’s over we will have voters believing the El Chapo family came over on the Mayflower in 1620 and we settled in the United States.

We will say my family moved to Mexico in 1919 because we preferred the drinking water, but we’re still Americans.

We’ll roll over Hillary because she doesn’t know how to lie as well as you do. We will make the most outrageous promises. Remember when Herbert Hoover in 1928 offered voters “A chicken in every pot?”

With me and my supplies you can offer “Some pot in every chick.”

I know that “chick” is not politically correct, but we will run against political correctness. You can say being politically correct is making every American weak.

Let’s run on more sex . . . more booze . . . more drugs . . .

Let’s take this country back to the 1960s and early 70s when everybody was happy.

Trump and El Chapo – that’s a winning ticket. What do you say, Donald?

TRUMP: OK, let’s do it.

EL CHAPO: That’s another great negotiation by you, Mr. Trump. As you say, you are a master negotiator.

Ask anyone in local media, and they’ve got a Richard Hendrickson story to tell. The veteran weather observer who died Saturday at the Westhampton Care Center at the age of 103 was a beloved member of the community, “the finest kind,” with shoes no one could fill.

Here’s Rick Murphy’s favorite story about Hendrickson, who

Continued from page 4. with a small section in one corner dedicated for selling merchandise, including shirts, hats, beach towels, and more.

The vibe is cool, laid back and relaxed as customers can enjoy a flight of beers, tasting-sized portions that go down the tap. Just want a pint? No problem. Growlers are available to be brought home as well, and the newly ingenious can growler, dubbed The Crowler, offers up an alternative, glass-free way to carry the beer. Prices are incredibly reasonable.

All three founders applaud the encouraging nature of the town, with Cutillo noting, “The community supported us and has allowed us to get to do this process. In turn we’ve started something that’s allowed us to stay here.”

And business certainly is a community-based initiative.

“We’re really driven by fans,” Sullivan said. “One of the coolest things we’ve seen is how supportive Long Island is of Long Island.”

Cutillo agreed, noting the positive response and cooperation he and his colleagues have experienced from fellow local breweries. This in turn has allowed the company to participate in a slew of events, providing tasty libations for local happenings since the company began.

“Everyone is supporting something local,” he said.

The future looks bright for the folks at the Montauk Brewing Co., with Moss looking forward to “experimenting with new styles and doing things people haven’t tried before.”

For Sullivan, it’s been the same mission all along. “I just want to keep making good beer, and see how far it can go.”

The Montauk Brewing Company is located at 62 S. Erie Avenue.

It’s open from noon to 6 PM on the weekends, and 3 to 6 PM on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Over the course of 84 years of service, the Bridgehampton farmer filed more than 150,000 individual weather observations, first with the U.S. Weather Bureau, then the National Weather Service.

NOAA lauded him for playing a critical role in building the nation’s climate history. Since he was the first in history to receive the award, all others who achieve such longevity will be honored with an award named after Hendrickson.

Experience A Key Trait

Both candidates for Southampton To w n B o a r d b o a s t a b o u n t y experience. Richard Yastrzemski, the Republican hopeful in the January 26 special election, lays claim to eight years on the Southampton Village Board. “I’ve sat in every position,” he said.

Julie Lofstad, who’s been endorsed by the Democratic, Independence

and Conservative parties, lists a panoply of experiences as a small business owner, community advocate, manager of a $50 million program for the New York Port Authority, and founder of a not for profit organization.

Each candidate feels his or her experience will be valuable, should they get their seat at the dais. For Lofstad, her professional experience and local advocacy, she said,

Julie Lofstad and Richard Yastrzemski are running for Southampton Town Board. The special election is January 26.

provide a breadth of experience.

Additionally, the Hampton Bays resident said she’s got her finger on the pulse of the township’s residents. “I consider myself a ‘regular’ person,” she said. “I know the concerns of the people because I am the people.”

Although she’s new to the local political scene, Lofstad recently viewed archival tapes of town board meetings and saw herself speaking before the town board at meetings dating back 10 years. She refuted opponents’ complaints that her learning curve will be steep.

Since last summer’s campaign, she said, “I’ve got a better grip on the community’s concerns and what I’m hoping to do . . . with my base of experience I can get up and running in no time.”

Yastrzemski countered the perception that his experience on the Southampton Village Board results in a kind of tunnel vision, focused on one small segment of the town. The role of deputy mayor, he said, afforded him the opportunity to interact with counterparts across the East End. As deputy police commissioner, he’s rubbed elbows with law enforcement officials throughout the region.

Working with the village DPW, he collaborated with county and state officials to discuss shared projects. But it’s his position as fire commissioner, he believes, that exposes him to the greatest number

of constituents. “That takes me to all the firehouses. The people that volunteer, they’re the bread and butter of every hamlet, those are the people of the town,” he said.

Party leaders -- Gordon Herr for the Dems and Bill Wright for the GOP -- both waxed optimistic about the campaign so far. Herr pointed to Lofstad’s three-way endorsement as demonstrative of an ability to reach across the aisles, while extolling recent upticks in Democratic voter registration as evidence that more and more residents feel aligned with his party’s principles.

“I’d like to crosscheck those numbers,” Wright asserted. He suspects some of the new registrants may already be registered in Manhattan. He feels good about the race so far, and believes ensuring voter turnout is essential. “In special elections, it’s tough to get voter turnout, but Rich and the committee are doing a great job getting people to see there’s an election coming.”

The candidates agree running in a special election is a unique animal.

A New Mission

Why are we here? Ask your minister or mystic, your girlfriend or guru, and the answers to that question are as grains of sand on the beach, Grasshopper. Here’s one we like: we are here to give and receive love, to learn, to teach, and to help others.

Simple? Yes. Easy? Not so much.

The New Year is a time of evaluation and self assessment. Are we where we want to be in our lives? Are we at least heading in that direction?

At the end of 2015, The Independent’s co-publisher Jim Mackin took a bold step. He asked us to fill out a survey describing what we love about our jobs and what we’d change if we could.

When the results were tabulated, one astonishing (for newspeople) thing became clear.

We’re sick of bad news.

We’re sick of bad people doing bad things to good people.

We’re sick of politicians saying bad things about other politicians.

We’re sick of government doing bad things to its citizenry.

We’re sick of bad news.

When was the last time you finished reading a newspaper and felt good – about your life, about your community, about your country?

American humorist Finley Peter Dunne described the mission of a newspaper: to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Today, we are all afflicted. The daily, even hourly deluge of negativity in the media freezes our hearts and poisons our souls.

We’ve had enough.

We’re sick of bad news.

Over the years, we’ve done a pretty good job fulfilling the second half of Dunne’s described mission. Have we fulfilled the first goal? Not as much as we could. And we want that to change.

The East End is blessed with a staggering array of amazing people engaged in uplifting enterprises. We want to share their stories. We want – we need – to shift the focus from negative to positive.

We want you to finish reading The Independent and feel better about your life, inspired by your neighbors, proud of your children, and excited about the events that are happening here. They’re happening all the time.

We want -- we need – your help. Call us and tell us about your heroes, your kids, your school or organization, your community. Dial 631-324-2500. Drop us a line or shoot us an email at news@indyeastend.com. Heck, stop by the office on Thursdays or Fridays; we’re just lollygagging when it isn’t deadline. We want to know you and we want you to know us.

Don’t worry, though. Indy’s not losing her edge. In his new In Depth News section, Rick Murphy will continue to masterfully afflict the comfortable, in our expanded arts section culture queen Jessica Mackin will provide the 411 about the hottest places to go and people to meet, and in our main section, we’ll continue to bring you the news you need to know.

But throughout our main section, we’re going to include features about happy people doing cool stuff, the chance to give a shout out to local heroes and helpers, plus life hacks, fitness tips, a little humor, and -- from us, a lot of love.

In 2016, when we say “Happy New Year,” we want to mean it.

Meat Industry - 9, Consumers - 0 Dear Editor, The “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” released yesterday by U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services mark the ninth time in a row that the meat industry has successfully suppressed scientific findings recommending reduced meat consumption. The reduction was recommended by the governmentappointed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in a 571-page report based on review of thousands of studies.

Reduced meat consumption was first recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in “Dietary Goals for the United States,” a precursor to the Dietary Guidelines. The meat industry forced the committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition.

That wanton government sell-out to the meat industry has replayed itself with every new edition of the Dietary Guidelines since then. “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” shapes school lunches and other government food support programs and underlies public health campaigns to lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Fortunately, American consumers are not easily duped. Sales of plant-based meats, cheeses, milks, and ice creams have skyrocketed, and every grocery store provides seemingly countless choices of fruits and vegetables.

What would it mean to have a woman as President?

(Part one of four)

Anna Castradi I think it’s big. I think it will be great. And I think it will be very meaningful to girls and to women to finally have a president that is a woman.

Kemisha Mohamid It would be awesome. I only wonder what’s taken so long!

Vicki Littman It depends on the qualifications of the person.

But there’s no denying it will be something to celebrate as far as breaking barriers. Of course it’s going to be a tremendous milestone. Yay! A woman president!

She may have a better chance at creating harmony in the world.

I am so chuffed to realize this! It just came into my head when I was writing my last letter to these pages and I even wrote that it was a made up word. I was wrong about that part (yes, I am human), but still think it is a spot-on appropriate way to describe the imbecilities and mendacity of the political Left.

Immeasurably silly and obtuse, these “words” are only self-referential. (I googled the very long one and the one “hit” I got had my name in it (!) from her letter!)

But that’s practically the whole point one should make about Leftist political “thought.” It’s entirely self-referential: I feel, therefore it is. Let me explain what is is (where have I heard that before?), but one more thing before I do: Arlene: What the heck does this

sentence mean?

“But it will go on as long as there are the shorted sighted views of what man (and woman) kind persists.” PLEASE. I’m begging you. What does it mean???

What is IS: First of all, they spell ISIS. Hmmmm . . . A liberal thinks that a social problem’s solutions emanate from how one feels about the problem, not how one THINKS about the problem. So we get empathy as the only rationale for a policy.

Let’s empathize with the Syrian refugees before we think about whether they should be allowed to emigrate into the USA now -- while their horde may very well be littered by ISIS moles, if you will.

Emotion trumps (where have I heard that before?) common sense. Happens all the time when you can’t think straight enough to write a clear sentence.

What’s With All The Illinois License Plates?

They are all over. Sure, seeing out-of-state-plates on the East End of Long Island is a normal occurrence - after all, we are a resort community.

There’s a lot from New Jersey and Connecticut, nearby states.

There is a fair amount from Florida, but then again, lots of folks hereabouts maintain residences in Florida.

Then there is Illinois. License plates from The Land of Lincoln are all over, and yes, there is a good chance they are not legally affixed to the cars they are on.

“It’s not reason enough stop a vehicle, there has to be cause,” said Lieutenant Susan Ralph of the Southampton Town Police Department. A driver with out of town plates typically has 15 to 30 days to register it in New York, depending on whether the driver has a legal residence elsewhere.

As of now Illinois is among the easiest states in the country to acquire license plates. Once registered, you can file for a set of replacement plates for $9 – and the plates are mailed directly to the applicant, who simply checks off whether the plates were lost, damaged, or stolen.

East Hampton Town Police Captain Chris Anderson agreed there are an inordinate amount of plates from Illinois hereabouts, primarily among Latino drivers.

He said there is a thriving underground market to service those who need license plates.

“Sometimes people are taken advantage of. They are steered to people who can obtain plates

Illinois Plates Independent/Rick Murphy

We are not implying the plates photographed are illegal, simply that they are in the area.

Continued from PAGE B-1 for them.” Often the costs are extraordinarily high, and the victims buy a package that includes identification cards and insurance cards. “They think that it is valid but it’s not,” Anderson commented.

It’s not just on the East End, either. Last year Illinois plates starting popping up with more and more frequency on Staten Island.

“It drives people crazy because it’s blatant evidence of someone cheating,” stated Senator Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) told Staten Island Live. “We all know it’s a problem.” The cheats “misrepresent their residence in an effort to buy cheaper insurance,” she continued. “It’s illegal, and it drives up the cost of insurance.”

New York ranks fourth on list of the most expensive states in the nation for auto insurance, according to a December 2013 report of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Once a driver is pulled over and the police ascertain the Illinois

plates are not valid, the plates are confiscated. In East Hampton the driver may be given the opportunity to have the car towed if he is the owner, or if the owner is present. If it remains on the street for a couple days the police call in a private towing company. The driver must answer the charge of Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in court.

Lt. Ralph said Southampton Town Police impound the car, and to reclaim it, the owner must produce valid title, registration, and insurance.

“Some people never come back,” she said. Eventually the town either sells the abandoned vehicle at auction or sells it as junk.

Ralph says there are also a lot of Pennsylvania and Carolina plates circulating; there used to be a lot from Colorado – much depends on what individual states require the driver to produce before issuing plates.

“It changes,” agreed Capt.

Anderson. “It can be cyclical.” It all depends on availability.

As aforesaid, the problem may not be the registration, but insurance – some folks register in states where it can be obtained cheaply and use a bogus address to do so.

Davis North from the Center for Immigration Status said it indeed is the undocumented immigrant population at the heart of the problem.

“Literally millions of illegal aliens live in states where they can get license plates on their cars

without having to produce a driver’s license; Texas and Massachusetts are perfect examples.”

Poxabogue Has New Management

By Rick Murphy

The Poxabogue Golf Course and Pro Shop, which has been the subject of some controversy in recent years, has a new management team in place.

On December 22 the

Southampton Town Board awarded Pin High Golf Management the contract. A committee chose Pin High from seven candidates who submitted proposals.

The management change does not affect the popular Fairway

restaurant. An employee said that operation, run by Dan Murray, is unaffected. “It’s business as usual for us,” he said.

Pin High agreed to pay a licensing fee of $100,000 a year for the first three years and will then

pay that fee plus an unspecified increase for five more years. In addition, Pin High will pay $164,500 towards capital improvements and five percent of any annual profit above $800,000.

Almost a decade ago, East Hampton and Southampton Towns jointly purchased the property with Community Preservation Funds, but East Hampton ceded its share to its western neighbor in 2011.

In late October the pro shop operation was shut down after an employee was accused of secretly taking an inappropriate photograph of a woman under 17 at the golf course.

In 2010 the Southampton Town Board chose Michael Avella, the owner of Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck to open a restaurant on the site. Murray closed shop after 20 years, complaining the management team at the course made demands impossible for him to meet.

Avella hit roadblocks when a significant mold problem was uncovered and the County Board of Health refused to allow the new restaurant to open and Avella eventually backed out.

Murray then returned and reopened Fairway. Long Island Golf Management, a Cutchogue company run by Ed Winkle, managed the facility for a decade.

But a controversy arose in 2013 when the company terminated the contract of the club teaching professional, Kim Shipman. Many of Poxabogue’s regular users filed complaints, There were seven parties interested in taking over the manager duties: East Quogue Golf Corporation, Mill Harkey Golf LLC, Thee T Golf management, Corcoran Sports, Sagaponack Sports LLC and Integrity Golf were the others.

Pin High Management LLC was registered in New York State December 1. The individuals involved in the corporation could not be gleaned.

Jay Balks At Questionable Deal

By Rick Murphy

How would you like to own an oceanfront lot in Sagaponack, one of the swankiest zip codes in the country, for $202,000?

It almost happened in late December, and it was the Town of Southampton willing to virtually giving the lot away.

Supervisor-elect Jay Schneiderman was at the town board meeting on December 22 when he read the resolution. It seemed that only five days earlier the town had put out a legal notice asking for bidders for the parcel, located at 152 Sandune Court.

A neighbor, Lloyd Goldman, submitted a bid for $200,000. The only other bid, for $2000 more – came from an entity named H.D.F. LLC, which is reportedly controlled the publisher of the Southampton Press, Joseph Louchheim.

Though the lot was described as “useless” and “not buildable,” Schneiderman has his doubts.

“It’s assessed at $5 million on the tax rolls,” he said, “but the town says it has an appraisal for $100,000. I haven’t seen it.”

There are several variables in play: the lot is currently being used for beach access which means

Independent / Rick Murphy

The lot in question has a footpath to the ocean beach; there is a significant clearing suitable for a building envelope, and a formidable dune in front of the beach.

it could be subject to restrictive easements. It could be, as part of a subdivision, subject to restrictions.

It could also be buildable if a variance was obtained, and that opens a can of worms.

Joe Loucheim’s father is Donald Loucheim, the mayor of Sagaponack.

He, directly or indirectly, appointed the members of the zoning board that would rule on the variance request.

Why the Rush?

“This was a walk on resolution with only four people on the board.

Why the rush? Schneiderman asked.

Councilwoman Christine Scalera said she has no idea who sponsored the resolution to sell the property and she was taken aback when questions were raised.

“We withdrew it when the issues came up. No action was taken.”

Anna Throne-Holst, the super visor at the time, said neighbors of the parcel asked the town to consider the sale and the town reviewed the request.

“According to the subdivision map the property is not a buildable parcel.”

Scalera noted that once the parcel sells the town would lose control over the building rights. “We could theoretically put a restriction on it before we sell it,” she said.

The lot is .6 of an acre. Though the entire village has been upzoned, most lots are preexisting and there

are a number of modest-sized lots in the area. According to Zillow a 2772 square foot cottage next door, on .95 of an acre, sold for $10.25 million less than a year ago.

Schneiderman is now the Southampton Town Supervisor, and he said a different set of rules would apply this time around. “I have a fiduciary relationship to the town to get the most value I can for the lot. The town reserves the right to reject all bids.”

Throne-Holst said from her perspective there was no rush to complete the sale and that the town attorney reviewed the process.

Even if it proves to be unbuildable, the parcel my have value exceeding the highest bid. “People might want an oceanfront property just to park on and use for the beach,” Schneiderman said.

“The parcel is expressly reserved to the other lot owners beach as beach access,” Throne-Holst said.

The new owner could also sell the septic rights and get a credit, or hold it to market to future neighbors down the road. The new owner will likely have to “accept it with the condition it cannot be developed,” he added.

Loucheim did not return an email seeking comments. He reportedly said he saw the legal notice and decided to make a bid.

The ad, presumably, was placed in the Southampton Press.

RICK’S SPACE The Tracks Of My Tears Edmund Muskie and Hunter S. Thompson must be rolling over in their graves.

For those who don’t know, Thompson, the famous so-called Gonzo journalist, covered the 1972 presidential campaign for Rolling Stone and later wrote Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail.

Muskie was the early Democratic Party frontrunner.

Muskie imploded before the New Hampshire primary when he apparently cried during a news conference. The public outcry was such that Muskie later claimed there were snowflakes and not tears in his eyes even though it was, like, 60 degrees out.

A rumor was circulating that Muskie’s wife drank heavily and cussed a lot, which upset him to the point of tears. Funny, those are the very qualities I like in a woman.

Thompson finished Muskie off by starting a rumor that Muskie was addicted to a drug called Ibogaine, a hallucinogenic. Hunter made the

January 13, 2016

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

story up, but everyone believed Muskie was stoned and offered as proof that fact that he cried on camera.

Back in those days real men didn’t cry. Then, of course, “sensitive” men like Alan Alda and Mike Douglas changed all that. All of a sudden it was OK to wear aprons and earth shoes and actually listen to women when they talked about serious stuff to you.

I don’t cry at all. Time was I did, but two weeks ago Karen got me Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and the soap doesn’t get in my eyes now.

The only other time I cry is when there is a spider in my bathroom or when Karen cooks dinner.

I feel very vulnerable when I have no clothes on and I see a big, black spider in the bathroom. I know two things instinctively: one, it is poisonous – don’t buy into the myth we don’t have the deadly ones around here.

Two, if I make a move for the door he will pounce on me so fast that I will become paralyzed with fear and unable to cry for help in time.

For those who don’t know crying is “a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from the lacrimal apparatus, without any irritation of the ocular structures.”

I am not making that up. I bet if you asked the average person what “shedding from the lacrimal apparatus” meant, 90 percent would answer something dirty. It sounds dirty like some sort of venereal disease. Or maybe that’s just how my mind works.

Here is a list of men who have never cried: Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Hoffa, and Vin Diesel. All the rest of us, even the President, have cried.

Here are times men are allowed to cry tears of joy: Our team wins the Super Bowl.

Someone gets whacked on “The Sopranos.”

Our wife decides to get take out instead of cooking dinner.

Here are times men cry because they are sad: The new truck has a scratch.

Their lacrimal apparatus is prematurely shedding.

Their complex secretomotor has a rash.

One phenomenon I’ve noticed is that women, unlike men, don’t differentiate between happy tears and sad tears. They will wail when you give them jewelry, but they will emote the exact same wail when they

B-7

find out the two-day sale at Macy’s ended yesterday.

The bottom line is when tragedy strikes, the emotions overwhelm us.

“Tears gather in the lacrimal lake, and are drawn into the puncta by capillary action, then flow through the lacrimal canaliculi.”

For example, I cried when I found out I had a puncta because I thought I was 100 percent male all this time.

Laughing may also lead to the production of tears, even though they are complete opposites. Hopefully if you are reading this now while gently weeping, it’s because you are laughing so much.

Laughter can be classified according to intensity: the chuckle, the titter, the giggle, the chortle, the cackle, the belly laugh, and the sputtering burst. You can also be more overt: snicker, snigger, guffaw.

Or, you can really let go with your bad self and snort.

Muskie lived to be 82 and rose to the position of Secretary Of State, even though Khruschev used to have to remind him not to cry when they were in public together.

Thompson blew his brains out when he was 67. He stipulated that at his funeral there would be no crying and no tears. He wanted people to celebrate. And he was even specific that there would be clinking of ice and whisky.

Mrs. Muskie would have liked that.

Richard Hendrickson

Continued from page 7. charge of the New York weather forecast office said, “Richard has contributed thousands of weather measurements to build the climate record for Long Island, and after 84 years, holds the title of the nation’s longest-serving volunteer weather observer. With this award, we honor Richard for his selfless dedication to his community and the country.”

NOAA reported Hendrickson’s lifelong commitment stemmed from personal interest in weather and a sense of patriotism. “I enjoy observing the weather, it’s what I do for my country,” he was quoted stating.

In 1996 he authored Winds of the Fish’s Tail, describing his years as a weather observer. Ten years later he published From the Bushy Plain of Bulls Head: Whisperings and Wanderings. In 2009 the Bridgehampton Historical Society honored him for his dedication to the organization he helped found.

On Monday, Sara Hendrickson marveled at the outpouring of praise for Richard. The phone at the family farm rang all weekend, while posts on social media sites piled up. “It’s amazing how many people knew him,” Sara said.

Many knew him through his weather work, but still others were acquainted with Hendrickson through his involvement with farming and firearms. He collected antique guns and cannons throughout the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s. “Every New Year’s and Fourth of July, he’d shoot his cannons,” Sara Hendrickson recalled.

“He’s done so much in his life,” she continued. “He was amazing.

He loved talking with people and helping them and spreading whatever knowledge he had.” In the handful of months he spent at the Westhampton Care Center before his death, the staff developed a special appreciation for the true gentleman.

Richard Hendrickson was born in 1912, in the farmhouse where he’d live for more than a century.

He attended Bridgehampton School and studied the poultry business at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

In 1935, he married his first wife, Dorothea (Haelig). She pre-deceased him and in 1982, he married again, to Lillian (Baldac) who predeceased him. His older brother, Edwin, predeceased him, and his sister Edith is 98 and lives in North Carolina.

Richard had one son, Richard H. Hendrickson, who predeceased him.

His daughter-in-law, Janet, and three granddaughters – Sara Hendrickson, of Bridgehampton, and Rachel Green and Leah Hendrickson, of Jamesport – survive.

Services for Richard Hendrickson will take place Friday, January 22, from 2 to 4 PM and 7 to 9 PM at Brockett Funeral Home on Hampton Road in Southampton.

The funeral service will be held Saturday, January 23, at 11 AM at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church. Burial at the Edgewood Cemetery in Bridgehampton will follow. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations can be made in his name to the Bridgehampton Museum, PO Box 977, Bridgehampton, NY 11932.

In a ceremony on Sunday afternoon at the Montauk Fire House, Brenden Snow from Boy Scout from Montauk Troop 136 was officially recognized as Eagle Scout. Brenden’s family and friends took turns praising him for his achievement, and for his excellence in character and in deeds. His Eagle Project was having viewing bleachers built at Montauk School. He’s seen above with (from left) County Legislator Bridget Fleming, his dad (and MFD Member) Scott Snow, and East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell.

SPORTS ON THE COVER: Brandon KennedyGay knifes inside for an easy score.

Record Breaking Beat Down

By Bonac

Kyle McKee, after stealing the ball, heads downcourt.

Brandon Johnson is Bonac’s inside presence and top rebounder.

Kennedy-Gay is the second highest scorer in Suffolk County.

Independent / James J. Mackin

By Rick Murphy

Yes, East Hampton destroyed Hampton Bays in a League VI encounter Thursday evening, but the Baymen came away with their dignity and pride intact.

The truth is the game should never have been scheduled.

Hampton Bays belongs in League VIII playing against Class C and D schools, not in League VI against the

★

senior-laden Bonackers, who have two Long Island Class A titles under their belt in the last seven years and are a contender again this year.

First, the grisly details: East Hampton, playing at home, ran Hampton Bays out of the gym, finishing the first quarter with a 20-0 lead.

Bonac mentor Bill McKee gingerly began removing his starters, but

nevertheless the lead was 30-0 when the Baymen finally scored— with less than four minutes to play in the second quarter. The final, 68-40, was one of the most deceiving scores ever recorded.

McKee graciously kept it close, and both sides acknowledged as much afterwards.

The first quarter run, though, was breathtaking. Bonac displayed all the attributes that make this team a powerhouse: speed, merciless defense, long range bombing and complete unselfishness.

Brandon Kennedy-Gay hit Kyle McKee for an open three pointer to start the game; two steals, and a

coast to coast by McKee, and it was quickly 7-0.

H a m p t o n B a y s c o a c h Pe t e Meehan called for a timeout, but there was no strategy that could stop this juggernaut.

Regis O’Neil stole a cross-court pass and fed Kennedy-Gay, sprinting downcourt ahead of the field.

Antonio Scott finally got a shot off for Hampton Bays at the 6:16 mark, and he missed badly.

Brandon Johnson fed KennedyGay; Bonac, controlling the passing lanes, forced a turnover and Kennedy-Gay scored off a baseline pull-up. Moments later McKee drilled a three and it was 16-0, still with more than two minutes to play in the first stanza.

We’ll spare readers the rest of the gory details. Bonac took the pedal off the metal and Meehan’s charges, to their credit, kept fighting until the final buzzer.

Andrew Hafemeister (9 points) and John Aube (7) led the losers.

East Hampton emptied its bench (and guess what — there are a lot of good players buried on it!)

Kennedy-Gay, one of the county’s top scorers, had 10 points for the winners. O’Neil, McKee and Kevin Weiss each tallied 10. Chris Stoecker, a sophomore, got extended playing time and looked like a comer, tallying eight points. “He’s coming on. He’s a kid who is going to help us as the season goes on,” said Coach McKee. Will Stoecker, Chris’s older brother, is getting ready to shed the crutches from an ankle injury. “He’s week to week. He’s another kid who will help,” McKee added. The older Stoecker, a senior, “helped us last season,” the coach said.

Incidentally, Hampton Bays got in this predicament because of a surge in the school population that moved the school up in class from C then to B, and to A this year. The problem school officials acknowledge, is the influx of new students is primarily Latino, who played little basketball in their home countries.

East Hampton is now 10-1, 5-0 in League VI. The team controls its destiny: keep winning and they will likely take on Harborfields, the League V leaders and the defending Suffolk County Class A champions.

East Hampton plays at Mount Sinai Thursday afternoon and gets Miller Place at home Tuesday at 6 PM. Hampton Bays 1-10 for this hellish season, plays at Glenn tomorrow afternoon.

Pierson Teams Get Down To Business

By Rick Murphy

It is an annual tradition. As the days get colder, Pierson basketball teams heat up.

The girls, perennial County Class C title contenders, are at it again.

Thursday the Lady Whalers knocked off Miller Place 56-44 to move to 3-0 in League VII and 7-3 overall. It was the fourth win in five games for the locals, who are ideally placed for a run to the state tournament.

There is more depth than in most years. Consider Thursday – Lily Kot notched 18 points, while Nia Dawson, the team’s explosive high scorer, was content to dish, though she recorded 12 points. Dawson also had five assists, continually finding an open teammate when she was double-teamed. Erica Selyukova did the dirty work, grabbing 12 boards and controlling the paint on both sides of the court.

The Lady Whalers play Wyandanch at home today at 6:15 and head west to Southampton

Indy Fit Brrrrr. A peak out the window and a check of the weather tells you, “Today’s a day for staying home in my jammies.”

Wintr y shut-in days are restorative, even a mental health necessity for some. Kicking back in your personal haven is an awesome way to decompress from a busy work week.

But, what about that resolution to move more in 2016?

Use your house and use your imagination. Do push-offs using the kitchen counter and triceps dips using a sturdy chair. Got stairs? Climb flights to work your legs and gluts. Like cardio? Log on to YouTube and you’ll find innumerable workout videos, for free. We’re fans of Keaira LaShae; she’ll teach you how to be “a beast.”

Get creative around the house and you can still get your move on . . . and stay in your PJs. Check with your doctor before trying these moves.

Friday evening for a 6:15 tip-off.

On January 20 Pierson travels to Mattituck to take on league leading Mattituck.

The Lady Tuckers are 7-0 in league play and 8-0 overall. The Pierson boys are hanging tough, 3-1 in League VIII and 5-5 overall. The boys knocked off Greenport 72-63 on January 5 behind Sean Sloane, who scored 24 and also recorded eight assists. The big story of the game, though, was the Pierson aerial attack. The Whalers bombed for 13 three-pointers led by Will Martin with six. Andrew James added five en route to 23 points.

Martin had 20.

Julian Swan led Greenport with 19 points and Jordan Fanseca with 10.

Bridgehampton and Southampton kept up their winning ways. The Bees, 10-1 and 5-0 in League VII, took care of their only real Class D rival, Shelter Island, on January 5, 60-42 on the loser’s court. The Bees trounced Greenport Friday at the Hive 8060. Josh Lamison had 48 points in the two games. Point guard Tylik Furman, by the way, is out with a sprained ankle. The Bees play at

North Fork Hoops

Lady Tuckers Remain Undefeated

By Rick Murphy

The Mattituck girls’ hoop team flew under the radar during the early part of the season – but the secret’s out – The Lady Tuckers are for real.

They roughed up Southold/ Greenport at home Saturday 66-41 to run their record to 8-0, 7-0 in League VII. The team’s undisputed leader is Liz Dwyer, who turned in a monster performance even by her lofty standards with 32 points, eight rebounds, five blocks, and two steals. Dwyer is Suffolk’s ninth leading scorer with 21 points per game and would likely be among the leaders in rebounds and blocks as well if they were tabulated.

She had 20 points Thursday

when Mattituck dispatched Mercy 63-43 and added nine rebounds.

On January 4 she tallied 22 points and grabbed 10 boards against Southampton 68-28. And make no mistake about it; the unselfish superstar could have tallied many more had she wanted to.

Next up is a home game against Mercy today at 6:15. Pierson/ Bridgehampton comes to town next Wednesday.

Riverhead is coming on. The Lady Waves sit atop the League III standings with a 5-0 mark after knocking off Smithtown West 54-42 at home Thursday.

This is a deep squad, with several players who can light it up. Thursday Kate Johnson-DeSilvia scored 15, including some critical free throws down the stretch. Dazarae Brown

contributed 4 points and hauled in 11 rebounds. Sam Dunn also scored 14 and grabbed 10 boards.

Two days earlier The Waves knocked off Smithtown East at home. Dunn exploded for 24 points and added 12 rebounds. JohnsonDeSilvia scored 15 and dished out for six more buckets. Brown scored 13 and grabbed 9 boards. The finale was a very comfortable 65-45.

Next up West Islip comes to town for a 4 PM tipoff tomorrow.

Mercy is hanging tough. The Lady Monarchs beat Southold/ Greenport 45-18 on January 4. The loss to Mattituck was the only one in League VII, where the locals sit with 5-1 mark 5-2 overall. Mia Behrens, with 12 and Melina Santacroce with 10 led the scorers. Santacroce also recorded 10 rebounds. The Lady Monarchs get a chance for revenge when they host Mattituck today at 6:15.

The Mattituck boys are hot after a dreadful start to the season.

Saturday the Tuckers went on the road to beat Hampton Bays 71-40.

Two days earlier they knocked off Ross School 66-35. Joe Tardif had 39 points in the two games. The Tuckers play at Mercy Friday and Babylon Tuesday.

Special Election

Continued from page 8. in election bids – Lofstad for the town board and Yastrzemski for supervisor.

“Last time was a marathon, this time is a sprint,” Lofstad observed. “It’s definitely an abbreviated process,” Yastrzemski affirmed. And, he noted, “You get a second chance in life. That doesn’t happen very often.”

The special election became a necessity late last fall when Councilman Brad Bender resigned.

Accused of distributing drugs, he pled guilty to a federal narcotics charge in November.

In other special election news, the Republicans will have a fundraiser Monday night at Edgewater in Hampton Bays from 6 to 9 PM. Email damonahagan@gmail.com for tickets.

On Thursday, January 21, the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons will host a debate between Lofstad and Yastrzemski at the Westhampton Library on Library Avenue in Westhampton Beach at 7 PM. Candidates will make timed opening and closing statements and answer questions submitted by a panel of local media, the audience, and the League. Estelle Gellman of the League will moderate.

Southampton Town’s SEA-TV will tape the debate for viewing that weekend on Channel 22. The vote will be held on January 26.
